Colloidal zinc oxide-copper(I) oxide nanocatalysts for selective aqueous photocatalytic carbon dioxide conversion into methane

Photocatalytic reduction and oxidation reactions, involving multiple electrons and operating in tandem, are extremely challenging to achieve. Here, with a hybrid structure of ZnO and Cu2O, the authors report photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction to methane with >99% selectivity using electrons...
